This is the right decision from the Government. Our @LibDems campaign to stop the bonfire of patient safety has been a success!

They say imitation is the best form of flattery, so good that the government has embraced this Lib Dem policy.
They can be similarly enlightened by listening to us on the need for tough action on illegal use of e-bikes, and for stronger service standards on public transport.

Ed won us our best election result since Lloyd George’s day, most polls suggest we’ll hold or even add to those record numbers of MPs….To think we’re helped by this kind of rubbish, you’d need to be smoking the kind of stuff even we aren’t in favour of legalising…
A senior Liberal Democrat MP has launched an attempt to oust party leader Ed Davey amid frustration over the party’s falling poll ratings.

That the antisemitic entryists who have captured the Green Party, are being antisemitic, is no surprise. That the Party Leader skipped this vote and failed to use his authority to argue against them, is an astonishing act of weakness. Real Greens are welcome in the Lib Dems…

All carers need a break sometimes – and far too many carers don’t get them. This week, my wife Emily and I are taking our first two nights away as just us for over 18 years. When we’re back, I’ll keep fighting to guarantee respite breaks for every carer.

10 years on from Brexit, Europe is back on people’s minds.
London St Pancras is Britain’s gateway to Europe, @StillmanPat1 sets out the Lib Dem plan to rebuild ties with Europe and boost growth.

The dangers of following PAS9980:2026 for post Grenfell remediations exposed by Lib Dem Housing Spokesman @GideonJAmos and @AlPinkerton in parliament.
- It condemns people to permanently high insurance and is rejected by the ABI.
- Allows highly combustible material banned on new buildings to remain on existing buildings (RAQ example).
- Allows completely opposing fire engineering conclusions to both be true.
- Encourages multiple remediations instead of fixing all the defects in one go.
- Eliminates the need to check if defects breached building regulations at the time of construction.
We must oppose this appalling remediation guidance from becoming law in the Remediation Bill which the government states is their intention as part of their Remediation Plan.

Later on Sunday, at 6:15pm,
We’ll be looking at work we’ve done with 5 nature groups on the electoral politics of nature - and what the issue means to Lib Dem voters. From rivers to green spaces, nature is important to Brits, but is it important to Lib Dems at the ballot box?

In that case, the US should probably get a smart president.
US President Donald Trump criticises AI boss who called for slowdown and says only guardrail needed is a "smart president"
